Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: runflags cannot determine whether to reclaim chanlist

syzbot reported a memory leak [1], because commit 4e1da516debb ("comedi:
Add reference counting for Comedi command handling") did not consider
the exceptional exit case in do_cmd_ioctl() where runflags is not set.
This caused chanlist not to be properly freed by do_become_nonbusy(),
as it only frees chanlist when runflags is correctly set.

Added a check in do_become_nonbusy() for the case where runflags is not
set, to properly free the chanlist memory.
